This initiative demonstrates the company's commitment to the environment and sets a new standard in the logistics industry.   ## **Cutting-edge technology for a sustainable future** Dry cleaning implemented by Solistica represents a significant breakthrough in water conservation. Using biodegradable chemicals and advanced cleaning techniques, this technology achieves impressive results: - Savings of more than 99.3% water per wash compared to traditional methods. - Use of only 4 liters of water to wash a tractor-trailer and 2 liters for large trucks. - Elimination of gray water and polluting detergents. Óscar Velandia, Solistica's Transportation Manager, highlights: **"This innovation has not only allowed us to control water waste to the maximum and make a decisive contribution to the environmental moment the capital is going through, but we have almost completely eliminated the polluting sources of gray water and detergents that inevitably end up in the sewage system."**   ## **Environmental impact and operational efficiency** Solistica's initiative goes beyond simply saving water. By implementing dry cleaning, the company has been able to: 1. Optimize the supply chain by eliminating the need to move vehicles for maintenance. 2. Reduce the carbon impact associated with the transportation of vehicles for washing. 3. Contribute significantly to water conservation in Bogota during the current water emergency. ## **A forward-looking campaign** Solistica's dry cleaning campaign, which launches in July, is not only a response to the current crisis, but a look into the future of sustainable logistics. The company is exploring additional technologies to further improve its efficiency: - Installation of a demountable hangar for engine cleaning and parts greasing. - Implementation of water treatment and reuse systems. ## **Beyond Washing: A Comprehensive Commitment to Sustainability** Solistica doesn't stop at dry cleaning. The company has implemented a number of sustainable initiatives that demonstrate its commitment to the environment: - Composting of refrigerant gels, processing between 10 and 15 tons per month. - Recycling of industrial supplies in collaboration with Corporación Mundial de la Mujer Colombia. - Recovery of wooden pallets and other usable waste. Haidee Hernández, the company's Environmental Management and Sustainability leader, says: **"In line with our environmental goals and sustainability indicators, we are working to reduce as much as possible the amount of waste from the operation that ends up in landfills or is incinerated, introducing as many reuse and recycling processes as possible."**   ## **A call to action in the logistics industry.** Solistica's success in implementing sustainable practices serves as a powerful example for the entire logistics industry in Colombia. With the freight transportation sector registering more than 10 million trips by 2023, according to the Ministry of Transportation, the potential for positive impact is enormous. Solistica's dry cleaning campaign is not just a business initiative; it is a call to action for the entire industry. It demonstrates that it is possible to combine operational efficiency with environmental responsibility, setting a new standard in logistics sustainability.
